2 DECRIPTION The IPL T F24 and IPL T FI244 are part of the IP Link family of ethernet control interfaces which are designed to integrate Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity into A/V systems. Projectors, plasma displays, switchers, A/V sources, lights, drapes, and many other devices can now be added to an existing computer network, enabling asset management and remote monitoring. erial Ports Both models provide two serial ports for control of two independent serial devices. The IPL T F24 offers flexible connectivity via either 9-pin D-sub ports for R-232, R-422, or R-485 devices or captive screw ports (R-232 only). The IPL T FI244 offers R-232 connectivity (only) on captive screw ports. When configured for pass-through mode, the interfaces can pass through commands from an existing control system and also control and monitor attached devices. Flex I/O Ports The IPL T F24 and IPL T FI244 each have four Flex I/O ports. These flexible ports can be configured as analog in, digital in, or digital out. They support digital and analog signals from 0 to 24 volts, allowing a wide variety of devices to be controlled or monitored. IPL T F24 The IPL T F24 is a compact Ethernet control interface with integral Web server, two serial ports, and four Flex I/O ports. The 0 to 24 volt incoming analog signals are sampled with 12-bit precision. Voltage thresholds can be set. When a threshold is passed, the IPL T F24 or IPL T FI244 can be configured to send out a serial command, an , or trigger another event. As an example, a thermal sensor installed in an equipment rack can be connected to one of the Flex I/O ports. The IPL T F24 or IPL T FI244 can be configured to send an if the rack temperature exceeds a specific temperature. When configured as digital inputs, the Flex I/O ports can connect to switches, motion sensors, moisture sensors, and tally feedback. This provides the ability to receive status from a variety of devices including projector lifts, motorized projection screens, room partition switches, and push buttons. When configured as digital outputs, the Flex I/O ports can drive LEDs, incandescent lamps, or other devices. For applications that require contact closure control, the Flex I/O ports can interface with an IPA T RLY4, an IP Link accessory featuring four isolated relays. IPL T FI244 The IPL T FI244 is a compact Ethernet control interface with integral Web server, two serial ports, four Flex I/O ports, four ports, and an learner. Ports The IPL T FI244 includes four fully programmable ports. Each port can output signals with or without the carrier signal using an optional wired emitter or broadcaster. control data can be collected and stored in two ways: data file download and learning. maintains a large library of data files that can be downloaded from our Web site ( for storage in the IPL T FI244. The IPL T FI244 will power four emitters; each can be located up to 400 feet away.

The Learner software, on intuitive PC-based application for assisting with learning and managing data files, is available at no charge and can be downloaded from the Web site.

3 FEATURE Bi-directional serial ports Both models provide two serial ports for control of two independent serial devices. When configured for pass-through mode, the interfaces can pass through commands from an existing control system and also control and monitor attached devices. Four Flex I/O ports The Flex I/O ports can be configured as either inputs or outputs and can interface with devices such as relays, LEDs, and switches. The ports can also be configured to receive analog voltages for use with photo sensors, level feedback, and more. learning capability The IPL T FI244 can be configured to learn codes from a device's remote, enabling Web-based control of many popular A/V devices via the network. lobal compatibility All IP Link products use industry standard Ethernet communication protocols, including ARP, DHCP, ICMP (ping), TCP/IP, Telnet, HTTP, and MTP. lobal Viewer Web-based asset management application The lobal Viewer software is the free Web-based asset management and control application designed specifically for IP Link network interfaces.

Integral Web server Each IP Link interface features a built-in Web server with 1.25 MB of flash memory for storing the lobal Viewer management application and any user customized web pages. High performance architecture Web pages are served many times faster (6 Mbit/sec transfer rate) than similar products, so data is refreshed at a consistently high speed. Multi-user support Each IP Link device supports multiple concurrent users, improving system throughput by sending information in parallel. Multiple levels of security with password protection User access level authorizes limited entry to only pre-designated functions, while administrator access level permits full access to advanced settings. Real-time clock Programmable operating alerts, sequencing, and automatic monitoring with the internal real-time clock and calendar allow IP Link interfaces to routinely check a connected device. Intuitive configuration utility The lobal Viewer Configurator, a Windows based program makes product setup simple and easy. Based on information provided by the user, the lobal Viewer Configurator creates all of the files needed to build the lobal Viewer Web-based asset management application and uploads them to the interface; no HTML programming knowledge is required.

4 IP LINK APPLICATION IPL T FI BW.eps The role of the technical administrator in today s schools and businesses has expanded to include management and maintenance of A/V devices from multiple manufacturers, often spread out over great distances. IP Link makes it easier to integrate A/V systems into existing IP networks, providing Web-based monitoring and control that unifies A/V equipment under a single common graphical user interface.

Each one contains a very fast processor with a latency, or delay, of less than one millisecond from the time it receives a command to the time it acts on that command. As a result, Web pages are served many times faster than similar products, so data is refreshed at a consistently high speed. The core technology and high performance architecture of IP Link interfaces makes them ideal for implementing A/V system management over the most widely available transport medium today, the corporate IP network. Centralized Asset Management and Monitoring Using IP Link hardware along with the lobal Viewer Web-based asset management application, a technical administrator can track the activity and status of all connected A/V devices. Multiple rooms of equipment can be viewed simultaneously, by location or device type. IP Link makes up-to-the-minute data available like serial numbers, maintenance history, usage data, current status, and installed firmware, all viewable from any computer on the network. With IP Link s functionality, accessed via the lobal Viewer, devices can be configured to proactively manage themselves. For instance, a projector can be polled routinely to track lamp usage and total life time. When lamp usage reaches a predetermined number of hours, the IP Link interface can send an , reminding technicians to replace the lamp. Automated cheduling IP Link interfaces include a real-time clock, allowing an administrator to program operating alerts, schedule routine equipment activity, or run maintenance checks on lamp hours, environmental conditions, connectivity, and other issues vital to Monitoring, cheduling and Presentation Room PC D Receiver operations. For instance, an administrator may want to configure projectors and other devices to power on or off at preset times. User-defined tasks are easy to configure and schedule with IP Link. cheduling tasks and setting up reminders is simple and straightforward and doesn t require high-level programming skills. Technical upport One of the biggest challenges facing technical administrators today is meeting the ever-growing demands for technical support with limited support staff. IP Link extends the support staff s reach, giving technicians the power to troubleshoot and solve many typical problems remotely. With access to real-time A/V device status, such as power on or off, and current input selection, technicians can often restore system operation in minutes. The result is time saved and a reduced level of frustration for users. ystem ecurity and Loss Prevention IP Link interfaces are always on and routinely poll their connected devices for status information. If a serially controlled device like a projector or document camera is physically disconnected from the network, the IP Link interface monitoring its status will know immediately. In such an event, the IP Link interface can be configured to send an message notifying security personnel of the problem.
